Ingredients
- 3 slices bacon
- 10 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar firmly packed
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium skillet or sauce pan cook bacon over medium high heat until bacon is completely cooked and crunchy. Once the bacon is cooked, remove bacon from pan onto a plate lined with paper towel.
- Leave the bacon grease in the pan and add butter, brown sugar, water, and salt. Place over medium-high heat and constantly stir until butter melts.
- Once butter has melted, reduce heat to medium and bring to a rolling boil for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally so that it doesn't overflow.
- Chop the bacon up into very small pieces.
- After caramel has boiled for 5 minutes, remove from heat and stir in heavy cream, bacon crumbles, and vanilla extract. Place back on heat and cook for another 1-2 minutes, constantly stirring. Remove from heat.
- Let the caramel rest 10 minutes to thicken. Serve with anything, and enjoy!
